-18/19
Step-by-step explanation:
(ab²) / a + 24 - b
(-2)(3)² / -2 + 24 - 3
-18/19
Answer:
3. y = 1
4. y = 3, x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Like the question says, we'll be using substitution, so for the first one, we'll be substituting the value of x into the equation
x = 5
3x- 5y = 10
3 (5) - 5y = 10
15 - 5y = 10
5y = 15 - 10
5y = 5
y = 1
For the next one, it's a similar idea, except the value of x has the variable y in it, which is fine, as there is still only one value in the equation we'll be solving:
x = 4y
x + y = 5
4y + y = 5
5y = 15 (we needed to collect like terms to simplify)
y = 15/5
y = 3
we still have to find x, to this, we substitute the value of y into any of the equations:
x = 4y
x = 4 (3)
x = 12
Hope this helps,

Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: The answer is A
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
= 2 - x ( square both sides to clear the radical )
x + 4 = (2 - x)² ← expand using FOIL
x + 4 = 4 - 4x + x² ( subtract x + 4 from both sides )
0 = x² - 5x ← factor out x from each term
0 = x(x - 5)
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x = 0
x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5
As a check
substitute these values into the equation and if both sides are equal then they are the solutions
x = 0
left side = = = 2
right side = 2 - 0 = 2
then x = 0 is a solution
x = 5
left side = = = 3
right side = 2 - 5 = - 3 ≠ 3
then x = 5 is an extraneous solution
